Sale raises £342

RYHALL churchgoers raised a record amount to help pay for a porch extension.

Saturday’s table top sale, which featured bric-a-brac, books and DVDs, collected £342 for the recently completed north porch extension.

John Finden, a fundraiser for the church, said: “It is one of our best totals so far. The extension cost £110,000 but we have been collecting for five years and we only need to raise around £25,000 more to cover it.

“It’s a great addition to the church, it makes a real difference. It means we will be able to hold many more functions and concerts in the future.”
